American President Joe Biden was caught on camera talking harshly about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Biden focused Thursday night on the House floor after his State of the Union address as he spoke with Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The incident was another sign of Biden's growing frustration with Netanyahu as the president comes under pressure at home and abroad to do more about the humanitarian crisis facing the Palestinian people.
The UN has warned that the Gaza Strip faces famine conditions and Israel has not helped get food and medicine into the area, citing concerns that the supplies will be taken by the Hamas terrorists they are fighting.
In the conversation between Biden and the three officials, which was broadcast live on television cameras recording Biden's speech, Bennett congratulated Biden on his address to the nation and urged him to continue to press Netanyahu on the humanitarian crisis. . Blinken nodded in agreement.
Biden responds by using Netanyahu's nickname, saying: 'I told him, Bibi, don't do that again, you and I are going to have a meeting.'
Biden has already ordered the airlift of US aid to the Gaza Strip, while in his speech, he announced that he is directing the military to build a port on the Gaza coast to bring relief to the Palestinian population.
